Yoshi is a successful singer, ukulele player, and teacher that we are honored to call a Friend of Ohana. Check out some of her product demo videos on our OCS website here.

 

 

From her roots in Okinawa, Japan, Yoshi has brought her music across the world to Australia, Hawaii, and most recently Los Angeles, California and Vancouver, Canada.

 

 

Yoshi also performs and shares her music locally in Japan as part of her ukulele duo, Pumbaa Girls. They have recently released a new single in addition to 2 cover albums. Check it out here!

 

 

As far as ukuleles, Yoshi quickly took an interest in Ohana's pineapple models, which are not common in Japan. She was intrigued by the PKT-220G mango pineapple tenor and now features it in her ukulele playing.

 

 

More about Yoshi:

Yoshi Hana is a singer based in Japan. Born in Okinawa, she has won grand prizes in singing contests from a young age, showcasing her crystal clear voice. In 2014, she chose the ukulele as a companion to her voice.

The gentle sound of the ukulele, played with her finger-picking style, blends seamlessly with her voice, creating a harmonious unity that feels like a single instrument.

She won second place in the 2020 International Ukulele Contest in Hawaii. After her busking experiences in Melbourne, Australia, she is dedicated to bringing her music to a wider audience.
